As I do with anything new from MS I'll delay updating as long as possible. I have tried it on a non work box and I didn't like what I saw.

I delayed it, but then i nuked something on my old install that prevented me from programming raspberry pi picos.
At all on my system.
Seriously.
Zadig installed drivers that then went into limbo and therefore could not be uninstalled and were preventing the proper handshaking when you plugged the boards in via USB.
So since i had to do a fresh install anyway I figured I may as well go all the way and upgrade. Saves me doing a fresh install later.

My observation: as companies approach the size of the government (pick a large one), they achieve the same efficiency.

I'd forgotten this one. It was my biggest  after switching to Windows 11.

Still remember the ribbon. Just a fancy toolbar, and it is not like the menu has disappeared in the rest of the world. Even see menus used in web pages. And still have that miserable "Modify Style" that uses that miserable Format button at the bottom. Has Microsoft not heard of the tab control. Office applications have had minimal evolution, and Microsoft has not fixed the ability to program office applications. Outlook has changed very little from 1995. What exactly has Microsoft been doing for the last 20 years. Have to say that the Visual Studio team has made enhancements but why did it take so long to get to 64bit? And I understand that SQL server is good also. But I go and use control-F and it does not work the same, and control + and Control - do not work like in the browsers. Guess Microsoft never learns how important UX is and consistency between applications. Microsoft seems to already be very much like IBM.

They did this so the poor user doesn't feel overwhelmed when presented with endless choices. They simplified it all for you. Don't worry your pretty little head...

Phew! Tricky one today. On my 4th go, I had to resort to abandoning the two letters I knew, in an attempt to narrow down the possibilities.

It's funny, I use the same 4 words to start:
lower
quips
ketch
mangy
that leaves me 2 guesses, but this isolates all but a handful of letters.
I use: BIFID as my guess if I am coming up light on letters, or I have "moy" (mommy, mobby, molly) or other bdf possibilities
I tend to be good once I know the letters. With 1 or 2 anchors, I can try a few variations to limit my choices.
I actually found an online game and logged enough games, that one of the words was "ketch" lol...
I am curious... Where is THIS version of Wordle at?
